SATISFACTORY IMMIGRATION STATUS
“JOHN/JANE DOE”
A Medicaid application submitted by a “John/Jane Doe” individual (i.e., an individual who is unable to verify his or her identity) should be evaluated in the same manner as any other Medicaid applicant, that is, these individuals are required to meet the same documentation requirements as any other Medicaid applicant. A true “John/Jane Doe” individual is not eligible for Medicaid coverage for the treatment of an emergency medical condition. Verification of identity is a requirement for this coverage and all other covered services. (See OTHER ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS IDENTITY).
